Cheap Flights from Samarkand to Frankfurt — $197

Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as the city’s main gateway for both domestic services and a growing number of international flights, positioning it as a regional hub rather than a large global airport. Carriers typically include Uzbekistan Airways and a handful of regional and seasonal airlines, with fares often perceived as mid-range compared with major Eurasian hubs. The airport sits roughly 6–8 km northeast of the historic center; taxi rides usually take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and can cost in the low single-digit to low two-digit sums (local currency), while shared shuttles or hotel transfers may be slightly cheaper per person. Pros: compact terminal, relatively short wait and transfer times. Cons: limited late-night connections and fewer lounge or shopping options than larger hubs.

While a connecting itinerary can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours, reduces hassle and lets you arrive rested and ready to explore or do business.
